2. puts driver at much higher risk of death
3. significantly increases the risk for everyone else on the road
4. causes more deaths each year than all mass shootings ever combined

So obviously, the max speed on cars should be limited to 65mph (or whatever the max speed limit is in your country)... right?
How many innocent lives is it worth to keep your right to own the guns that are pointless?

Yes limiting the power of cars is sensible. Again how many lives is it worth to own a car that is pointless?

Of course, if you can give us a valid reason for overpowered cars or guns, we can debate that.

This goes for any moron who thinks an overpowered car or gun makes them special.
